We always cruise with a Deluxe Bev package. We never felt the need for a water package. On the first day or 2, we would get a drink and ask for a water bottle. It was never a problem. We would save the water bottles in our fridge. After the first day or so, we had enough water bottles in our room fridge for the pretty much the rest of the cruise and excursions. dp

That is what I thought I remembered from previous texts... DONT start on account of FB...😉. FB is like the BORG, Resistance is FUTILE! dp

My own daughter gave me an Old Fashioned T-shirt like this one. I'm not sure what "hint" I was supposed to get from that. But, the fact that the FB targeted marketing algorithms are sending you these ads... that hints something 😁🥃 dp

I guess I'll have to watch it now to see what IMDB means by this... 😆 dp

Ouch!!!😲 I feel for you. Thank you for showing us your Regina 😁 dp

For us, the Drink package is like an American Express card... dp

Let me see if I can help with the coffee question without making things worse... 😉 AKAIK only the Oasis class ships have an actual Starbucks Coffee Kiosk. Those are NOT included in drink packages. All other sources of specialty coffees, such as Café Lattitudes, Café Promenade and the likes that may dish out illy coffee, or Starbucks branded coffee, Seattle's Best, ARE included with drink packages and coffee punch cards. If I got it wrong, someone will surely chime in. dp

I feel your pain 😉 We had room 7650 on 12 night cruise. we walked right by those "Crew Stairs" every single time we went anywhere, all the way to the "Aft Stairs" that are technically located pretty mid-ship. Most of the time, we would go down one level and then all the way aft again, past schooner bar, past just underneath our room and to the aft windows. It was probably just better for us anyway, to help us get our "Steps Count" in 😁 dp

I read that you are a weirdo... but I won't believe you until I HEAR you say it out loud...perhaps on Bella II 😉 dp

That happens here as well later in the season they have to close down fishing zones because of whale activity.

You also must have grown up next to the sea. dp

We eat them raw... just like oysters... but with more chewing 😁

Have a great Friday everyone. After a pre-diner Negroni Then was Quahogs And the Snow Crab season just opened here Now, off to the Hot Tub that I spent most of the day getting ready for the season. dp

Thanks for the heads up. I remember on Anthem, the Music Hall also had Pool Tables that were pretty much left alone. It was a great quiet spot with a nice view in the afternoons. dp

Just to add info, here is what it looks like looking out of one of those deck 7 Balconies on a radiance class. I don't recommend doing it, but I would feel comfortable walking out on that platform 😉 But I used to install radio antennae on building rooftops in my previous life. Short Video might also help you see what it looks like. dp

Beeeeaaaautiful day here on the Canadian East Coast. I decided yesterday to take the day off today when I seen the forecast. Decided to setup my DW's Hot tub so I can hopefully have it ready for use this weekend. I know there are more than a few coffee fans here, so I took a break from working outside and came in to make a pour over. Wish I could make you all one also. OK. Done coffee break. Back to the grind now 😉 dp

That is good to know, but does not affect me as I'm only a with a bev package 😉 ... but I'm movin on up... dp

661 🥺 dp

STOP IT!!!, Your making the wait seem even longer! 😉 Nice Pics BTW. dp

I will most likely try out just about every bar on Wonder. Except for the Bionic bar. The novelty has already worn off 😉 I somewhat end up at specific bars depending on the type of drinks I'm looking for, but after a while, once I've narrowed down my favourite bartenders, I mostly go back to my preferred classics and end up the same few bars over and over. dp

Thanks. I'm glad, with our room location, I've already figured that I will be making good friends with the Trellis Bar bartenders. I estimate roughly 83 sober steps including stairs from room to Trellis bar. I should get a pool going within the gang. dp

Thanks, I did not think so, but I was sort of joking that once I sat down, I would not be able to get up to go to the bar 😁 dp

Wow... If I actually got down to sit in one of those chairs... I'm spending the night there. Do you happen to know if the bartenders come to serve at the tables? 😉 dp

Nice to have a long season like that. End of may is official last frost date. By 1st of June is pretty safe. That table was one of my best ideas. I used leftover Tamarack I had ordered to build the boxes. We call it the "Beer Garden" as we often sit on the stools at the table a have a beer while listening to the plants grow 😉 Also use the table for mundane stuff like transplanting and mixing up soil and fertilizer. You know, actual garden work 😁 dp

And... My little seed starter greenhouse I built with a Home Depot plastic shelving unit, reflector wrap, and LED grow lights. I control lighting with wifi plugs. I can also close it up in the early stages dp
